Wyoming Green Nephrite Jade holds a unique significance among North American nephrite sources, specifically known for its exceptional color and translucence, qualities often prized above other jades.

A jade "wind slick" is formed when sustained high-velocity winds or sandstorms blast the surface of raw jadeite or nephrite exposed in arid environments. This natural aeolian abrasion acts as a high-speed sandblaster, smoothing the stone's rugged exterior into a distinctive, waxy, and glass-like patina.

Stone is 33x17x9mm thick
